AST 1573 - Clearing of the Tenth Heavenly Meridian, Tracker

Just as Qing Shui was about to enrapture Yiye Jiange in another sweet kiss, a mysterious, strange, yet tyrannical wisp of aura rose from Yiye Jiange and entered Qing Shui's body.

As it entered Qing Shui's body, Qing Shui found that his aura began to wildly flare up, quickly harmonizing within his meridians.

After one great circulation, it returned to Yiye Jiange's body, before going back to Qing Shui again.

Hong!

Yet another Heavenly Meridian was cleared, but this was within Qing Shui's expectations, the tenth Heavenly Meridian!

Qing Shui didn't even have time to sigh in admiration, as shockingly, yet another meridian had been cleared. Of the Twelve Earthly Meridians, the second meridian had been cleared.

He had just cleared one of the Twelve Earthy Meridians recently. To have cleared another one this quickly was unexpected, to say the least. A cultivator's strength, the meridians and his bodies had a massive connection; the number of meridians opened correlates to strength, explosive power, endurance, and physical defense…

Yiye Jiange also looked at Qing Shui in shock. She had also obtained massive benefits, not at all inferior to the ones Qing Shui had obtained. Her face was flushed with embarrassment, her eyes blurred as her blood boiled when she saw Qing Shui.

"I may not be a Drakaina, but I obtained the inheritance of the Drakainas. What we had just done had a similar effect." Yiye Jiange lightly disclosed.

Qing Shui was stunned. He had just heard of the miraculousness of the Drakaina. Their first time would have massive benefits for her partner and the resulting offspring would be exceptional. To think that Yiye Jiange was even more miraculous than a Drakaina.

"My blood is about to boil. I want you as a person, no matter what you are. I just want you to be my woman." Qing Shui lightly kissed her jade nose.

Although the two were stuck in the most intimate position, there was a constant stream of aura being exchanged as Qing Shui activated the Unnamed Technique, and even took the opportunity to teach the technique to Yiye Jiange.

The pair's strength was growing at a visible rate, even without the inheritance of the Drakaina. Yiye Jiange's physique was considered one of the finest, not to mention with said legacy.

As the transfer of Qii began to weaken, the increase of strength also began to lull, but Qing Shui did not care to check the increase in strength and excitedly began to move rhythmically. With a beauty before him, even the sky falling down would be a small matter.

Yiye Jiange's pair of jade legs were like spring vines, tangling Qing Shui. Wet and red cherry lips lightly parting in a soft, tender moan, lost in ecstasy, were making Qing Shui feel as though he was in heaven.

The frenzy in the room continued till the latter half of the night. The physiques of the two were both exceptional, but Yiye Jiange was unable to withstand Qing Shui's strikes and thrusts and ended up being cuddled in Qing Shui's embrace as she slept.

Seeing the satisfied smile on her divine face, so alluring it made one sigh, Qing Shui felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. She was finally his woman. This was a natural pride, love and raw emotion that could not be described, as if the two melded into one whole, holding her in his arms meant having the world.

The sky began to lighten and Yiye Jiange's eyelashes began to tremble. Qing Shui had not fallen asleep, but seeing that Yiye Jiange had woken up but did not open her eyes, he knew she was merely pretending.

His body moved, which caused the turgid part to be tucked into a wet and compact area. Qing Shui was unable to stop himself from moaning, as this was a heavenly feeling.

Yiye Jiange trembled, tightly hugging Qing Shui as she lightly complained: "It's been a night already. Have you not had enough?"

"I'd never have enough. I want to do this till we're old." Qing Shui flipped their positions and pressed on top of her.

……

"Our child will definitely be extraordinary."

Qing Shui was hugging Yiye Jiange as he smiled.

Yiye Jiange, still tucked in his embrace, was startled by Qing Shui. "Now that you mention, I do really want a child.", She replied.

Seeing the sheer anticipation in Yiye Jiange's eyes, he remembered how she had raised Luan Luan in the past, so she was practically Jiange's daughter.

"Then we had better work hard at it." Qing Shui smiled. To get his women pregnant required a large amount of time, but it was not a problem at all.

……

Qing Shui's growth in strength was not insignificant. His bodily strength increased to fifty thousand, which is roughly by a quarter. That alone was already extremely terrifying.

Yiye Jiange had also cleared some meridians, which included two Heavenly Meridians and an Earthly Meridian. Qing Shui and his other women were all similar, though some of them had only cleared one meridian.

This time, Yiye Jiange had also opened up the Twelve Earthy Meridians and cleared one of them. Whether or not she could clear all twelve would be up to fate.

Qing Shui began to recall Tantai Lingyan and Qin Qing. Tantai Lingyan had the Demon King Inheritance. Qin Qing had the Battle God Inheritance. Yiye Jiange had the Drakaina Inheritance, while Muyun Qingge was a Drakaina.

This world was very miraculous; anything could happen. For example, he would've been a demon monster in his previous world, but was considered a normal demon in this world.

He once again skipped on going to the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. Only until late in the morning did Qing Shui accompany her out of the palace, while he could sense her immense changes after just one night's time.

Having taken that last step, there were no barriers between the two. Yiye Jiange's wryness and laughter felt incomparably intimate to Qing Shui, as she was his woman now.

They saw Muyun Qingge again. She stared at Yiye Jiange, and perhaps in slight guilt, Yiye Jiange had an unnatural expression on.

"Jiange, you've become so beautiful just after one night." Muyun Qingge curiously looked over at Yiye Jiange before staring at Qing Shui and immediately understood the situation.

"You two have duo cultivated, no wonder." Muyun Qingge said in shock, before turning beet red herself, her gaze at Qing Shui turning slightly strange.

Qing Shui began to feel uncomfortable under her stare, as there was once an awkward moment between them.

"Come to my room. I was just about to look for you to discuss certain matters." Muyun Qingge recovered her spirits as she smiled and said to the pair.

"I've already gotten the new. The Sea Dragon Palace and the Vicious Dragon Palace will begin their assault tomorrow." Muyun Qingge was not too worried as she uttered this phrase. On the contrary, she was even excited.

"When do we clamp down on the Carp clan?" Yiye Jiange ruminated before she spoke.

"If we make a move and control them now, there would be too many repercussions as the carp clan is still vital to the Sea King's Palace." Muyun Qingge's eyebrows wrinkled.

"If we don't control them, and allow them to liaise with the outsiders, our casualties will skyrocket." Yiye Jiange said slowly.

"Then what should we do?"

"It's best to try and get Jin Liyu to stand on our side once more." Qing Shui smiled.

"Although they are not the strongest race, they are certainly one of the pillars of our Sea King Palace, which is why they're unwilling to be suppressed by others." Muyun Qingge lightly sighed.

"Is Jin Liyu important in the Carp Clan? Is this rebellion his idea, or the idea of the clansmen behind him?" Qing Shui asked. He had enough strength to control a single individual.

"Jin Liyu is an astonishing existence in their tribe and has an extremely important position, but this matter of rebellion could not have been decided by him alone. It should be a joint decision by many different branches. Even if we take control, nothing would change." Muyun Qingge could decipher Qing Shui's intentions.

If this was truly the case, then it would be difficult. There was no time, and they needed to avoid striking the grass and alerting the snake. This made everyone feel like it was impossible to do anything. Even exterminating the Carp would not be beneficial. Not to mention that they were not easy opponents.

"There is still a way to reverse this. The Carp has a total of thirteen branches, each branch has a clan member similar to Jin Liyu. If we are able to dictate the fates of these thirteen, they would not make any rash moves." As she finished speaking, Muyun Qingge took out a piece of paper with the names of the thirteen elites of the various branches.

These thirteen were considered youths in the tribe, but they had unbelievable strength, and the sky was the ceiling for them.

"There are legends that claim that these thirteen carp kings are the lifeline of the Carp Clan. Without them, their clan's legacy would deviate, as their bloodline is the purest. If there are no accidents, the continuity of the clan would depend on them.

"As for Jin Liyu, he is the de facto leader of the group, currently slated to be the leader of the entire tribe." Muyun Qingge followed up.

"Do we still have time to control all thirteen of them?" Qing Shui asked, but immediately felt like the chances were minuscule.

"Under normal conditions, there wouldn't be a chance, but I have a device which tracks their whereabouts. If we move now, perhaps we still have a chance." Muyun Qingge smiled as she took out an object.

A tracking device!

In shock, Qing Shui looked at the object Muyun Qingge was holding. It was similar to a crystal ball, shining with light, but Qing Shui could not figure out how to use it.

"This is a memory crystal that gradually developed the function to pinpoint the position of certain people." Muyun Qingge began to explain.

"You are able to search anyone and everyone?" Qing Shui asked out of curiosity.

Muyun Qingge lightly shook her head: "The crystal first needs to memorize the person before it can perform a search."

"How can it memorize?" Qing Shui was increasingly fascinated.

"Anyone within a three-meter radius would automatically be registered and memorized, but it has a maximum capacity, which increases with its level and there are also distance restrictions.

With Muyun Qingge's simple explanation, Qing Shui grasped the gist of the device. This was an absolute tracking device which was simply overpowered. Even if you changed your aura and your face, you would still be easily detected.

"I'll begin the search. Once I've pinpointed their location, we can split up, telling each of them what we already know of their betrayal."

"What if they don't admit it?" Qing Shui said.

"At this point, everyone already knows. Even their refusal to admit would simply be in futility."
